Ms McGibbon continued: "Everybody knows who the criminals are and it's just they are afraid to speak out. And people are telling me, I know this person, and I know that person, then why aren't you speaking out, if you know all these people?

"Maybe their influence can be minimised if you'd speak out and tell the truth about what you know.

"If paramilitaries are a minority, why can't the majority take over, and speak out and say something and cause a positive response?"

She added that her father had gone to meet the paramilitaries in the alleyway that night to protect their family, not to be killed.

"He went to protect us, not to go down and get murdered. It was to protect his family and to prove that he was innocent, and an innocent man."
